Thirty four years after its initial release, Ready An’ Willing definitely stands the test of time. Even though released on the threshold of the new decade, the album captures the rough, rich, blues-infused essence of the previous years rather than exploring new sounds and spheres. It reaches right back to the roots of rock, combining the bluesy ruggedness with fine melodies that herald the latter-day era of Whitesnake. Competent, solid musicianship adds much color to the album and so does David Coverdale in his best vocal shape, delivering a handful of genuine, emotionally-laden performances culminating in the album’s highlight “Blindman” that is a worthy successor of Purple’s “Soldier Of Fortune.” And even though Ready An’ Willing is not a groundbreaking album for Whitesnake (at least in a commercial sense) as well as for 1980, it surely remains one of the finest records released that year and an exceptional one within the history of music.
